Mold Testing In Savannah GA 912-659-8643

Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can lead to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings, such as farmers working around moldy hay. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath.

In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition

Recent studies have suggested a potential link of early mold exposure to development of asthma in some children, particularly among children who may be genetically susceptible to asthma development, and that selected interventions that improve housing conditions can reduce morbidity from asthma and respiratory allergies.

People with allergies may be more sensitive to molds. People with immune suppression or underlying lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) may experience difficulty breathing. Individuals with immune suppression are at increased risk for infection from molds. If you or your family members have these conditions, a qualified medical clinician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.

During a home inspection or due diligence period, conducting a black mold test - including air and/or surface sampling - is a crucial step in protecting your health and investment.

Black mold, especially Stachybotrys Chartarum; can thrive in hidden areas like behind walls or under flooring and release harmful spores that may cause serious respiratory issues, allergies, or other health problems. A mold test can reveal contamination that may not be visible to the naked eye, helping you avoid costly remediation after purchase. Identifying mold early gives you the opportunity to negotiate repairs, adjust your offer, or even walk away from a property that poses a long-term risk. It's a small investment that could save you thousands - and safeguard your well being.
